As a seasoned gamer and content creator with a knack for virtual sports, I’ve got to hand it to IShowSpeed. The guy’s got heart, and he’s not afraid to take on the big guns – even if they’re real-life Olympians! His quick wit and unmatched confidence are as entertaining as his gaming skills.
Despite losing the $100,000 race against US Olympian Noah Lyles in a competition with MrBeast, IShowSpeed refused to concede defeat.
Currently, IShowSpeed stands among the globally recognized content creators. His online activities frequently trend due to his extraordinary stunts, yet he’s equally renowned for his athletic prowess.
During a live broadcast, MrBeast and Noah Lyles invited IShowSpeed for a footrace, with the victor earning $100K. At first, Speed was reluctant due to the three-hour drive from Orlando to Florida, but he soon agreed, sped off in his car, and made the journey.
Speed arrived at the track, sporting his Real Madrid soccer uniform and taking a sip from a bottle of PRIME. Addressing his audience from within his vehicle, he declared, “Let’s start talking.

Wearing a referee outfit, MrBeast climbed into the vehicle and exclaimed, “You won’t believe what I’m about to do! I can hardly believe it myself.
27-year-old sprinter Lyles, who has won an Olympic gold medal and broken numerous national records, also openly identifies as a tech enthusiast.
After bantering about it, the 19-year-old content creator playfully threatened, “If I don’t win, I’ll temporarily change my username to IShowSlow on any platform where my verification won’t be revoked.” This was his promise if he finished second in the race.
MrBeast, IShowSpeed, and Noah Lyles gathered on the track, sharing some playful banter before heading towards the starting line. Speed lingered as much as possible, circling the track, performing backflips, and other antics to mentally prepare himself.
After that, they both prepared themselves for the task ahead. MrBeast announced a countdown before firing his smoke gun, marking the beginning of the competition.
Initially, Speed took the lead, but Lyles caught up and eventually surpassed him, not only winning the contest but also increasing his advantage by sprinting vigorously towards the end, which seemed like an extra blow to Speed. Yet, Speed swiftly asserted that the race was a draw, and later on, he even argued that he was the actual winner of the competition.
The race starts at the 20-minute mark
Speed asserted, “I’m the swiftest human being on earth; we were evenly matched,” followed by his request for a re-run. “Frankly, you just edged me out. If it had been a forty-meter race, I would have triumphed, I guarantee it,” he continued.
Nevertheless, Lyles strongly refuted Speed’s actions and countered his accusations of a tie. “The world witnessed it through your broadcast; we have video evidence to support our claim.
In a recent conversation, MrBeast inquired whether Speed conceded that Lyles was the “world’s fastest man,” even though he had lost the race. However, unyielding at 19 years old, Speed maintained his stance, stating emphatically, “I’m quicker, straight up speed, I am.
Later, Lyles expressed his intent to compete against IShowSpeed once more, allowing Speed ample time, up until July 2025, to improve his fitness level. So, stay connected as we’ll provide updates should the re-match between them materialize.
